at from the Sims rep. Favorite place to ride:
Whistler/Blackcomb Product Year:
2000 Summary:
The numbers: Male 5'10", 165 lbs. Hardbooting since 90'. If you are just getting into carving, you should probably skip this board for the time being. It is basically a closet door with a 16.72 meter SC radius and some steel edges. That's why I like it.
Ludicrous edge grip with no chatter.(as long as your legs are strong enough to adequately pressure the edge).I am fortunate that the resort I ride in is massive because this board needs some space so you can let it run. Strengths:
-stiffer than a mother@#cker.
-swallow tail accellerates at carve's end
-excellent structure on base. Weaknesses:
No longer in production Similar Products Used:
Burton Alp 171
Oxygen Dangerous 167
Factory prime 167/180 yellow top
Factory prime 185/195 black top
Factory prime 185 team issue 180mm waist.
F2 beamer asym. carbon. 155
others I can't remember

, from Ottawa, Ontario CANADA Favorite place to ride:
Mont Tremblant Riding Style:
Groomed/Slalom Product Year:
2000 Summary:
This is the board for racing, slalom and freecarving. It handles everything you can throw at it and more. I'm 5'8" and 150lbs and the 167 is perfectly matched. It's supper stable at high speeds and carves deep trenches with ease. This is not a board for the beginner or intermediate. This board rides long and fast. Wear your helmet...ride with integrity and dont let the ice frogs and snow snakes get you! Strengths:
I've been riding slalom and race boards for almost 4 years now since I switched from freeride/freestyle boards and this is a lighting fast, super stable responsive board. I bought it in a 167 matched with Burton Race Plates and Burton Hard Boots. It's got cool retro graphics and the split tail actually gives you better edge to edge transitions. It's offset to the nose but this is for a reason which helps you initiate turns. Weaknesses:
I have never had a problem with this ride. It smokes!! Similar Products Used:
Burton Factory Primes, Ultra Primes, Alps etc. I own these Burton boards and they ride really well but my Burner is my majority ride.

Copper Mt Riding Style:
Groomed/ Slalom Product Year:
1999 Summary:
This is my favorite board to ride out of all of the ones I own. I don't recomend it to every one, if you just like to carve its probably not for you. If you are the type that loves to push things to the edge this is the board that will let you do it. Once you have ridden one you won't want to ride anything else. Strengths:
The board has never let me down in any condition. This board rips! Weaknesses:
Not a cruiser, you have to be pushing it constantly Similar Products Used:
Burton prime, oxygen proton,f2 speedster rs,rossi race x
